I searched for weeks to find the best price on Corsa Extreme and found that the old reliable WCC coudn't be beat. Thanks to Joe and Paul.

I was actually the one that initiated that post. Unfortunately they couldn't beat WCC as a regular customer.

I think I got a deal on Corsa Sports that's pretty tough to beat . . . When I took delivery of my new '07 convertible, another customer was just coming back in with his also-new '07. He had Corsa Sports installed at the dealership the day before and had driven home (about 12 miles) then right back to the dealership - his wife didn't care for the sound. The dealer offered to put his car back to stock, and asked me (kind of half-jokingly) if I wanted a great deal on a very slightly-used Corsa Sport system for mine. The damned paper labels hadn't even burned off. I asked him what a "great deal" was, and he said that he couldn't sell the Corsas as new, so if I wanted to wait while he installed 'em I could have the set that day for $700 installed. Done and done. Corsa Sports were on my list anyway, it's the exact set I wanted. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

I love 'em. What a great sound . . . and the price was sure right!

My Corsa Touring system was by far the best mod I did to my C6. Just right and great quality.

I was happy with my Corsa Sports and became super happy with them after installing Kooks headers. Still no drone at any speed, sounds just like the Sports alone below 3000 rpm and sounds like a race car above 3000 rpm. Perfecto!

saplumr - Did you buy them already? Here is a post from yesterday -

"DO NOT put the Corsa Xtreme on a paddle shifter! Read the last sentence in the MidAmerica catalog "Not recommended for automatics"

I made an expensive $$$ mistake. Put on the Xtreme before I read the ad. The cockpit noise is unbearable. Went back to stock after 400 mi.

The Xtreme is now collecting dust in the garage.

If you know anyone who wants to buy it cheap lemme know.

I've got the MN6. The Sport was plenty loud enough with the offroad x-pipe. ECS put cats high flow back on and now it's to quiet. Now I'm looking for more sound again.
